    Order to cash processes and scenario are implemented natively in IFS. An HR module exists for career management also (objectives, comportments, training, mobility) but may be improved in terms of workflow validation (e.g. training to validate by a manager) or reporting.

    Scenario in which Propel is best on the grounds are : 1. Customer support is very enriching and helpful. 2. OMS electronic system is best part of it. 3. Salesforce platform is very user friendly. Scenario in which it needs improvement: 1. Platform releases sometimes affect business operation. 2. Preview and collaboration should be made very user friendly. 3. Variant and sharing management could be improved.

    I can't talk highly enough about ProShop ERP. Their team is never satisfied with how it performs and the features it has in place. ProShop has made our company more efficient in every aspect of how we run a business. We shopped around and we couldn't find a system that does everything that ProShop does. It is the most complete robust system on the market in my opinion.

    • Lack of flexibility with exports and reports.
    • Salesforce has limitations on the page layouts which is not a major issue.

    ProShop ERP
    • Can be slightly overwhelming at first.
    • Unless you have a good understanding of how to write script and code the customization pages can be confusing.
    • Some of the system notifications can be a little confusing, such as the new rev flag that pops up when the rev for the part changes. We've had some issues with this causing problems to the parts later down the line when trying to transfer duplicate parts to a remake job.

    IFS Applications is based on Agile Technology which allows organizations to reconfigure user interface as per user requirements and make it user-friendly. Other applications are lagging on many fronts like User Interface, Online help document availability, Implementation methodology, and post-implementation expenses.

    Return on Investment
    IFS
    • Reporting is now centralized and managed. Previously, reports were outside the information systems and there was a risk of incoherence.
    • Accounting controls are now in place on the overall processes, including production, which helped the company to reduce closing periods or to produce more easily official mandatory accounting files yearly.
    • Interfaces between the CRM forecast tool and IFS helped to keep the tools in sync, and to decrease the processing times prior to production launch.
